This is one of the “general” update posts, but not Mizunashi.

First on the agenda has to be the season. I dropped off in Spring (freeking birthdays!), but randomly wound up in Summer. The short list:

Eve no Jikan

Sweet animation, reflection here.

Xam’d

Awesome BONES ordeal, saw Extrange posting on this one, and went okay. [reflections]

Yakushiji Ryoko no Kaiki Jikenbo

Can’t resit the character design and mixture of eccentricity. [reflections]

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu

Uber sweet, basically makes we want to hurl, but I’ll go for masochism. [reflections]

Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora

[not yet dipped]

Koihime†Musō

[not yet dipped]

So that’s the anime slice.

Other rambling

Right, well, melative continues to progress through it’s unknown tao, and I’ve posted a couple updates on the blog, which may be interesting or useful to gage what/where it is going. The *wish* feature works well, btw, and I thoroughly tested it with the FF extension API front-end, placing some 300+ wishes in a matter of minutes (looks like this in the end). It really just serves as a more intricate way to interact with media titles, that’s all (melative doesn’t care about how many episodes a series has, but the experience); basically it is a small way to compete with AniDB, which has that file-logging functionality.

Also on the site, I wound up pushing a few light novels into the database. I’m looking at the lists of 4000 anime+manga, but don’t know if I want to push it all in. Then there’s music and movies, bleh. So much media….

Anyway, it’s sports time. Olymipics 2008 are amped!
